Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are not rushing to file for divorce.
The former couple - who have children Violet, nine, Seraphina, six,
and three-year-old Samuel together - may have announced they had
separated last month but are not in a hurry to dissolve their
marriage.
A source told PEOPLE: "[Garner]'s finishing a film so there hasn't
been like, 'Okay, let's get this done now,' because they always were
like, 'This is happening and still moving forward.' I don't think
they're talking about it.
"They're concentrating on being a family right now."
Indeed the pair are moving in to a new home together and are planning
to rent Brooke Shields' Los Angeles home once they return from
Georgia, where the 43-year-old actress is currently shooting 'Miracles
From Heaven'.
Their own Los Angeles property - where Ben is expected to move into a
separate annexe on the estate - is currently undergoing extensive
renovations and as they "don't want to live in a construction zone",
they decided to seek alternative accommodation.
A source told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "[Ben
will] remain with his family on this new property."
Brooke and her husband Chris Henchy put their five bedroom,
five-and-a-half bathroom property - which is just a few houses away
from Ben and Jennifer's home - up for rent last month as they spend
most of their time in New York.
It was recently claimed the 'Alias' star and her 42-year-old estranged
husband are "playing happy families" for the sake of their children.
A source said: "They both put on their happy faces and don't show any
signs of anger or frustration. They definitely play happy family in
front of the kids."
The insider added that it is important to both stars that their
children know how much they love them.
The source explained: "They want to fill their children's lives with
as much love as possible and make sure they know they have two parents
who love them to pieces."
